BLAINE's ABSURD TAN SCHEME

BLAINE'S ABSURD TAN SCHEME
Mr.. BLAISE'S proposal is that the
whisky tax should be- maintained, first, in
order TO build up Qualifications along the
coast, AID then, when this work WAS done,
and the national government should
have no use Tor the money, ne would di-
vide the tax am@g the federal union,
with the specific object of Tightening the
tax on real estate" In other words, he
would actually raise surplus by federal
taxation tor the specific object Of help
ing the owners OF . particular kind OF
property to pay their State taxes
The New York ErRiag Post says of this
scheme: I'VE do not believe any sugges-
ton 50 extraordinary has ever before
emanated from public man outside Dis
trict Assembly No. 40 of this city. No
American politician has ever laid such an
idea before his countrymen at large.
The Post then quotes Mr.. MATTHEW
HALE, an eminent Republican lawyer, Of
Albany, n. Y, who has written several
letters on BLAINE's scheme in which he
points out the constitution empowers Con-
gress ITO lay and collect taxes duties, inn
posts and excuses, 20 pay the debts, and
provide fer the common defense and geu-
eral welfare Of the United Srates'-for
the purposes and no others. but here
is a man." continues the Post, whom one
OF the great parties is disposed to present
for the second time "a q candidate for the
Presidency, who cuts cut q platform tor
himself, under which Congress would levy
taxes simply 10 help the owners Of one kind
of property to escape the burdens laid on
them by their own States. We abuse
PuwDERLY and QUINN and their kind q
good deal for their folly and ignorance of
the laws, bat, after this, how can we ever
he hard on them again."
This scheme Of BLAINE'S is not at all
new one. The MULLIGAN statesman has
pulled it on the people before, and it has
BCCu lNesulsAN4N MI WV IA hAA bg tue bShoAbiC
men Of his own party. In his report of
1855 Secretary FOLGER said:
$50 the question still presses, what
legislation is necessary to relieve the
people of unnecessary taxes? As else
where suggested, it should not be as
sumed that the surplus in the treasury
will he consumed by lavish expenditures
for objects Of doubtful expedienCy or
legality, or that the scheme which has
been proclaimed. Of exactiDg money from
the psople for the purpose OF returning it
to them by fl,eriug distribution through
State governments will ind any favor
with Congress or the people"
Aud now Mr.. BLAINE brings the same
absurd, unjust aud unlawful scheme up
again.
There is very evidently something Sc,
riOusly wrong with the Plumed Knights
upper story.

A Shameful Sight.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock,
Policeman Brannan, of the Third district,
found two boys lying on the porch Of a
house on the extreme western end OF
Cary street. The boys were respectively
8 and II years of age. Upon first ex-
animation the boys appeared to be dead,
but upon a closer inspection it was as
ceriained that they were completely UNI
concious from the effects of liquor.
A wagon was procured and the two
boys carried to the stalion-louse. The
boys were so completely under the intlu-
ence of the liquor as to be perfectly limp,
and their faces were pallid to almost a
deaihly hue. 1t was feared at first that
the boys would not recover; but after an
hours hard work by Drs. Edwards and
Smith, Captain Epps, Sergeant Hulce, ami
others about the station. house, the boys
finally began to show signs of life.
When the elder had. recovered sutfi-
GENTLY to speak, he said that they had
given a cOlored man five cents to pur-
chase whisky for them.
This is one Of those cases that is not
amenable to law, but it certainly seems
that a man who is paid to purchase
whisky for a minor is just as bad, if not
worse, than one who sells it to them di-
rect. 1t is hoped some further investiga-
ton will be made.
